[World 03] : Apocalyptic literature

 After hearing that the next world was an apocalyptic type, Song Yu decided to rest for a few days.

The employee benefits of the Quick Transmigration Bureau were very good. There were standard two-bedroom apartments, as well as large supermarkets and restaurants, all free of charge.

Song Yu stayed in the apartment for three days and accidentally overheard several colleagues discussing the main god in the corridor.

When 009 returned at night, he asked about it: [Has the main god been betrayed?]

009 did not answer: [Host, where did you hear this from?]

Song Yu lay on his pillow: [I heard others discussing it during the day.]

This was considered top secret, but there are no secrets that don't leak.

As a system that had been by the main god's side for many years, 009 knew that the main god's disappearance this time was intentional, but it was not unaware of the main god's strength. Even if all the veteran gods of the Quick Transmigration Bureau gathered together, they could not touch a single finger of the main god.

It guessed that the main god might have regarded this crisis as a trial, or perhaps... it was just a simple case of mental schizophrenia.

However, no matter which guess it was, it was 100% related to its host.

【There's no definite news yet.】

009 started seizing every opportunity to build up its master's image: 【But don't worry, host, the Supreme God has never been defeated in thousands of years.】

It thought Song Yu would show an expression of admiration after hearing these words, but instead it was met with disdain.

【Is the Supreme God that old?】

009: …

It's better to remain silent.

This time, 009 didn't go to headquarters, but instead hid in its own space to upgrade.

The next world is S-level, with zombies and monsters. It adjusted its five senses to their best state and replenished its supplies, always ready to protect its host.

It also upgraded its Void Space, at least to ensure that each fragment has its own room.

Otherwise, if they all gathered together, its small property might be overwhelmed.

Some fragments even started to get jealous of it, just because the host bought it small thumbtacks.

009 silently put away the small thumbtacks, afraid that some fragment would steal them.

*

After resting for two days, Song Yu entered the apocalyptic world.

Even with thorough preparation, Song Yu was still shocked by the desolate and ruined scene before him.

He was sitting in a modified black SUV, leaning against the window, with yellow sand swirling around him, constantly crushing severed limbs and occasionally revealing the corpses of monsters.

Song Yu's throat felt dry.

He used to cover his face with his hands whenever he saw such bloody scenes in movies.

For a moment, he wanted to back out, but thinking of the three times the points in this world, he pursed his lips and decided to stay.

Anyway, he'd already been killed off long ago, so he probably wouldn't be able to stay for too long.

Lost in thought, a one-eyed monster suddenly appeared outside the window, its sharp fangs lunging towards him.

Song Yu screamed softly in fright and instinctively shrank back, only to bump into someone.

He turned around and met a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes.

"Captain Qin, shall we go or should we?"

the man in the passenger seat suddenly asked.

The Qin he mentioned was Qin Fei, the protagonist of this world, and the person Song Yu had always wanted.

Of course, at this time, Qin Fei was still straight, only becoming gay when facing the protagonist. He didn't even give other suitors a friendly look, especially a playboy like Song Yu who was good for nothing but his looks.

"Come on," Qin Fei's voice was low.

Even sitting in the seat, it was clear that the man was tall, taking up most of the back seat and squeezing Song Yu into a corner.

Probably noticing that he had been staring at them, Qin Fei frowned slightly, his expression already showing impatience.

Song Yu immediately looked away and carefully moved a little further into the corner.

The man sitting in the passenger seat was Jiang Ran. He opened the window, leaned half his body out, aimed, and fired at the monster—"bang"—his

head exploded.

A few drops of blood splashed in through the window, landing at Song Yu's feet, carrying a strong smell of blood.

Song Yu immediately pulled his feet back.

The man in the passenger seat immediately rolled up the window: "Okay."

He then looked back.

What he saw was a pair of bright, misty eyes.

Jiang Ran's heart skipped a beat.

Song Yu was someone they had unintentionally rescued and brought back to the base a while ago. He looked like a handsome, innocent-looking guy, but his behavior was quite frivolous, and he liked to flirt with men.

Now that Shen Songchen had just disappeared, he was already seamlessly moving on to the next one?

That was just too much.

Of course, in this special time of the apocalypse, everyone was trying to protect themselves, especially a player like Song Yu. He probably only flirted with Shen Songchen because he found him attractive, and wouldn't have any real feelings for him.

Could he have fallen for him this time…? Jiang Ran had absolutely no interest in men and immediately turned her head away.

But Song Yu's beautiful, terrified face involuntarily appeared before her eyes, and she swallowed hard.

*

The road afterward was exceptionally desolate, and they didn't encounter any more monsters or zombies.

Song Yu sat quietly in the back seat, sorting through the plot.

This world had both apocalyptic and rebirth elements. The protagonist, Shen Songchen, joins the base where the male lead, Shen Songchen, resides after the apocalypse. He has no special abilities, works in logistics, and is generally easygoing and popular.

Shen Songchen initially had no interest in romance, but after being persistently pursued by a wealthy young man, he agrees to date him. After they start dating, he treats her with utmost care, even washing her underwear.

However, during an outing, he is attacked by monsters, while his boyfriend abandons him to save another man. He then realizes he was merely a tool used by his ex-boyfriend to vent his anger. Reborn, he gains rare plant-based abilities and a storage space, takes revenge on his ex-boyfriend, and uses his cheat-like abilities to lead humanity in rebuilding their home.

Undoubtedly, Song Yu will be playing the role of that lazy, powerless rich young man.

Actually, the male lead is relatively merciful to him, only revealing his true colors and ruining his reputation in the base. His eventual demise is entirely due to his own cowardice; seeing monsters, he jumps from a building in terror and dies.

Hmm… sounds a bit cowardly.

Having experienced the previous two worlds, Song Yu is already quite adept at portraying his character.

The plot has now reached the point where the protagonist (the bottom) is surrounded by zombies, and the group can't find him; they're on their way back to base.

This reduces Song Yu's workload in flirting with the protagonist.

The main task now is to harass the main character (the top), and then, in conjunction with the reborn protagonist, act as if he's being retaliated against.

Having sorted out the plot, Song Yu was tired and closed his eyes to rest.

About ten minutes later, they returned to the base.

It was called a base, but it was actually just a standalone apartment building. The residents, young and old, were all from this building. Some of the residents had developed supernatural abilities when the apocalypse struck and began leading the others in survival.

The building was surrounded by a sturdy barbed wire fence, and monsters kept climbing up, only to be killed by those inside.

When a vehicle needed to enter, the barbed wire fence would quickly rise and fall.

Song Yu got out of the car and felt the air was unusually stuffy. He walked at the end of the group and followed them into the apartment building.

This trip was to search for supplies, and they had brought back quite a lot. While everyone was excitedly gathered around the supplies, someone noticed that Shen Songchen was missing.

"What happened to Brother Shen? He hasn't..."

The person didn't dare ask any further.

Everyone knew what his absence meant.

Being alone in this environment meant almost zero chance of survival.

Shen Songchen was usually well-liked, and everyone felt uneasy about it.

A sudden silence fell, and the atmosphere became oppressive.

Qin Fei broke the silence, ordering his men to register the supplies and move them to the warehouse: "We'll go look again."

"Huh? Go out again now?" a young boy asked. "Then why did you come back? Isn't it a waste of time?"

"To bring the supplies back and streamline the team."

Jiang Ran was a straightforward person; he meant that it would be better to let those capable of self-defense go out to find Shen Songchen rather than risk the entire team's lives.

However, everyone mistakenly thought that Song Yu was cowardly and insisted on returning first.

It's no wonder everyone was prejudiced against Song Yu. Rumors of him flirting with men had spread throughout the base, coupled with his laziness, his bossing Shen Songchen around after winning him over, and other repulsive behavior. Everyone knew what kind of person he was.

For example, this time, despite having no special abilities, he insisted on going out; Shen Songchen was probably trying to protect him from disappearance.

Noticing the displeased gazes of the crowd, Song Yu's cheeks flushed. He forced a fierce expression, shoving aside anyone blocking his way like a bully: "Get out of the way! I need to go back to my room to rest!"

After they left, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.

"How come Brother Shen is always fine when he goes out, but this time he got into trouble?"

"Could it be because he was trying to save him?"

"How dare he abandon Brother Shen and return to the base without even a word of thanks?"

Although Qin Fei also disliked Song Yu, he didn't believe the truth. He explained, "Shen Songchen encountered the monster after being separated from his group; it had nothing to do with Song Yu."

But the crowd's impression of Song Yu was deeply ingrained, and they remained dissatisfied. Several people who had previously coveted Song Yu's good looks but had never even given him a second glance began to smear him.

"Look at his arrogant attitude just now; our base doesn't need such a parasite."

"He doesn't seem sad at all; it's really unfair to him!"

"Of course he's not sad. How many men has he seduced? He'll probably be looking for someone else in a couple of days."

Qin Fei glanced at those people.

A sharp look silenced them immediately.

Qin Fei reassured everyone, "We'll try our best to search."

But everyone knew how slim the chances were.

After dismissing the crowd, Qin Fei led Jiang Ran and a few other skilled ability users to change their weapons, preparing to go out again to search.

"Brother, did I say something wrong just now?" Jiang Ran followed behind Qin Fei, his expression conflicted.

"What did you say?"

"I mean when I mentioned streamlining the team. Everyone seems to have misunderstood Song Yu."

Jiang Ran felt particularly bad thinking about Song Yu's slightly red eyes when he left.

It made him seem like he had deliberately said that in front of everyone.

"Besides, Song Yu hasn't said much along the way. He's probably sad for Brother Shen too." Jiang Ran said irritably, "Those guys from earlier, they don't do anything themselves. Shouldn't we do a cleanup of our team?"

Qin Fei turned and glanced at him.

Jiang Ran felt a little guilty under his gaze: "...W-what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Qin Fei looked away. "We'll consider these things, but they're not the most important thing right now."

"Do you think we can still find Brother Shen?" Jiang Ran was somewhat disappointed, after all, none of the people who went out and didn't return survived.

Although Shen Songchen had some fighting skills, he didn't have any superpowers. Fighting a monster alone... just thinking about it seemed unlikely.

"We absolutely have to find Brother Shen." Jiang Ran was a chatterbox, and he could keep talking even if the other person didn't respond. "Didn't you see? Song Yu's eyes are all red."

Qin Fei paused, his hand holding the magazine to his back.

Song Yu's face just appeared in his mind.

Indeed, this person had been very quiet the whole way, whether it was because he was worried about Shen Songchen or because he was frightened, his small face was pale, and his eyelashes were trembling.

In short, he was very different from his usual self.

Qin Fei, unaware that he had developed pity for Song Yu, collected his thoughts, picked up a homemade pistol, and said calmly, "Let's go."

*

Song Yu rested in his room for a while before calming down and accepting the fact that he was about to deal with monsters and zombies.

009: [Host, you rarely have the opportunity to deal with monsters. You've only encountered them three times, and the third time you jumped off a building out of fear.]

"..."

Jumping off a building and monsters both seem quite terrifying.

There were still three or four days before the protagonist's rebirth, and he thought he had some time to adjust. But that very night, 009 started issuing missions.

[Mission 1: Go to the protagonist's room under the pretense of being injured and ask him for his WeChat. You will only receive 2500 points if he agrees to give you his WeChat. The time limit is within two hours. The timer starts now.]

Song Yu lay on the bed and immediately started to act spoiled, whining and unwilling.

[Qin Fei looks so fierce. My boyfriend just disappeared, and if I go to him now, he'll definitely throw me out.]

[Host, you haven't tried yet.] "

I don't want to go..."

Song Yu thought of Qin Fei's fierce face and his burly physique, strong enough to knock him down with a single punch, and he started to feel intimidated.

He lingered on the bed for over half an hour before reluctantly getting up.

But he didn't have any wounds.

Maybe he had some scrapes or bruises before, but he was afraid of pain, so he had 009 use a panacea to heal all his wounds as soon as he entered this world.

009: "You can use the fake wound medicine. It won't cause any pain or damage to your body."

Song Yu pursed his lips and asked about the price.

009: "This isn't a healing medicine; it's free to use."

Song Yu felt a little better.

Soon, he felt his earlobe getting hot.

He guessed the wound was there.

Song Yu grabbed his phone and left the room.

This was a low-rent apartment building, almost entirely single rooms, with about ten households living on each floor. However, as the number of residents decreased, many rooms were empty.

Qin Fei's room was next to the stairs, making it convenient to be the first to check if anything happened.

Song Yu stared at the room number 302, took a deep breath, and knocked twice forcefully.

The man opened the door quickly.

Qin Fei looked like he had just finished washing up; his hair was still wet, and he was wearing a black tank top with a towel casually draped over his shoulder.

Seeing Song Yu at the door, his expression showed slight surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.

His voice was cold, his tone unapproachable: "What is it?"

Afraid he would slam the door shut, Song Yu immediately reached out to block the crack.

Cool fingers accidentally brushed against the other man's arm. He paused, then frowned. "What are you doing?"

Song Yu asked, "Have you found Shen Songchen?"

Hearing that he was there to ask about Shen Songchen, Qin Fei's expression softened slightly. "Not yet."

Song Yu gave a soft "Mmm," then forced a smile and said, "Can I come in? I need to talk to you."

Song Yu was a head shorter than the man, so he had to look up at him. From Qin Fei's perspective, the boy's eyes seemed to have hooks at the corners.

Song Yu had always expressed his feelings for him.

Many people in the team didn't know this, and Qin Fei wasn't the type to flaunt his feelings. He had never been in a relationship, but he knew he was straight. After emphasizing this a few times, Song Yu stopped bothering him. A few days later, he saw him with Shen Songchen.

Good.

At least he wouldn't bother him anymore.

However, no sooner had Shen Songchen disappeared than Song Yu came looking for him.

Qin Fei frowned. "If it's about what happened before, I've already said it. I don't like men. Stop bothering me and don't waste your time on me."

So fierce…

Song Yu didn't dare look up at him.

His fingers nervously began to touch the door panel beside him, but the rough paint on the apartment door rubbed his fingers red.

Song Yu called out softly.

The soft voice reached his ears, and Qin Fei's eyelids twitched, a strange feeling welling up inside him. Not knowing where this feeling came from, his expression grew even stiffer, and his voice turned cold: "I've already made myself very clear. What else do you want?"

He glanced at Song Yu and actually saw a wronged expression on his face.

Just because he got rubbed by the door paint?

Qin Fei's gaze fell on Song Yu's hands. The boy's fingers were fair, the fingertips smooth and lustrous, his skin delicate—clearly pampered.

The spot where he'd been rubbed was already red.

So delicate, his skin turned red from the slightest touch.

Qin Fei wanted to close the door directly, but he had a feeling that if he did, Song Yu would squat down and cry, so he said stiffly, "Rinse it with cold water."

009: ...

This is the most clueless guy it's ever encountered.

Song Yu was still hesitating about whether to go back when he heard Qin Fei speak. He realized that the other man was staring at his fingers. He blinked and immediately followed up, "Not this wound."

"My ear is injured, and there's no medicine in the room."

Everyone who came back from outside would be checked for wounds in the makeshift infirmary. He checked today's records and Song Yu's name wasn't there.

Qin Fei leaned closer.

After staring for a while, he saw a small bloodstain on Song Yu's earlobe.

It was probably from being cut by grass.

After a moment, he opened the door completely: "Come in."

*

Song Yu sat uneasily in the chair and looked around.

Qin Fei's room had even fewer things than his; there wasn't even a table, only a few plastic storage boxes.

The man took out a pack of cotton swabs and some disinfectant.

He had intended to give the medicine directly to Song Yu so she could get it, but seeing Song Yu staring at him expectantly, he tore open the packaging anyway.

In this apocalyptic world, people didn't care about their appearance, but Song Yu was clean and even smelled of flowers.

She had even sprayed perfume just to see him.

Qin Fei frowned, his rough hands clumsily dipping a cotton swab in disinfectant.

Song Yu's earlobes were small, but plump, with a natural pink hue.

Qin Fei subconsciously held his breath, carefully bringing the cotton swab closer.

Even though his movements were very gentle, he still heard Song Yu inhale.

So delicate.

Qin Fei meticulously cleaned the wound several times, just about to tell Song Yu "It's okay," when he turned his head and met Song Yu's eyes.

Had she been staring at him the whole time?

Qin Fei looked away, stiffly saying, "It's okay, go back."

Song Yu didn't seem inclined to get up. He took out his phone, his voice sounding pitiful, as if pleading, "Can I add you on WeChat?"

Qin Fei looked directly at him.

Song Yu had asked him for his WeChat several times. He only stopped after getting together with Shen Songchen.

Now, Shen Songchen had only disappeared for a day, and they hadn't even found him yet, and he was already making moves on her.

The man's aura noticeably lowered, and Song Yu could sense it. He immediately explained, "I want to know about Shen Songchen!"

Qin Fei paused: "What?"

"You guys aren't taking me out." Song Yu wasn't so nervous lying anymore. "If you find him, you can tell me immediately."

"Okay?"

*

Song Yu was still a little dazed when he added him on WeChat.

He went back to his room in a daze.

After recovering, Song Yu started analyzing with 009: [It seems the protagonist is starting to develop feelings for the main character now. His expression changed when I mentioned Shen Songchen.]

[I know how to do missions from now on!]

Whenever a mission required harassing the protagonist, he would use Shen Songchen as an excuse.

Song Yu thought this plan was perfect.

In the following days, he didn't have many missions and stayed in his room, occasionally asking Qin Fei about Shen Songchen. He

perfectly embodied being lazy and good-for-nothing.

Until the day Shen Songchen was reborn and returned to the base, Song Yu visibly became nervous.

009: [Host, your ears and neck are red.]

Song Yu: [I'm thinking, how will the protagonist (uke) take revenge on me?]

He hoped he wouldn't be hit.

He really couldn't bear the pain.

Song Yu waited anxiously, but instead of the protagonist (uke), he received the second task.

[Task Two: Intentionally soil the protagonist's (seme) clothes, then pretend to wash them while watching him undress. Reward: 2000 points. Complete before midnight.]

[Your character is a carefree rich second-generation heir; you must watch the protagonist (seme) the entire time he undresses.]

Song Yu: "..."

The demands are getting more and more outrageous.

However, for the sake of points, he still quietly said "Oh."

Although everyone is in danger due to the apocalypse, the base still needs to be repaired and cleaned regularly, firstly for its own survival environment, and secondly to have something to do.

As the captain, Qin Fei always leads by example, and at this moment he was wiping the corridor alone on the fourth floor.

Song Yu went to the first floor to get a basin and rags, and the logistics staff looked at him in surprise—what's going on, this rich second-generation who has never done any work is actually going to do chores?

Seeing that the boy looks weak and frail, the other party even specially got a smaller basin, and the rags were the cleanest ones.

When he arrived on the fourth floor, Song Yu found a water room, filled it with some water, and walked to Qin Fei's side with the basin.

The other party glanced at him, said nothing, and then looked away, starting to wipe the door on his own.

If he had to take off his clothes... his clothes would get dirty.

Song Yu's plan was to pretend to accidentally spill water on his clothes while wiping the wall. However, he underestimated the other party's roughness.

Qin Fei didn't seem to care about the dirty water on his clothes.

Song Yu stopped what he was doing and reminded him, "Your clothes are dirty."

Qin Fei: "Hmm."

There were so many places to clean, yet he had to pick the spot next to him.

And he deliberately moved closer to him.

Maybe those rumors were true—Song Yu was with Shen Songchen just to deliberately provoke him, to make him jealous.

Too bad, he's a straight man.

And he never steals his brother's man.

Qin Fei silently moved a little to the side.

Song Yu was dumbfounded .

He squatted by the small basin, somewhat at a loss.

He couldn't just pour the basin on Qin Fei, could he...?

[Host.]

Song Yu was struggling with this when he heard 009's reminder. He looked down and found that his chest was stained with something that looked like paint.

He immediately scooped up some water from the basin and washed it off.

He washed it off, but his skin felt chilly when it touched the wet clothes.

"What are you doing?" Qin Fei had seen Song Yu's every move. He frowned, "Go back and change—"

He stopped mid-sentence.

Song Yu's long-sleeved shirt was white, and a little see-through after getting wet.

Pink.

"Hmm... I'll go change." Song Yu took a few steps, then remembered his mission wasn't finished and turned back. "Are you still here later?"

The boy's obedient appearance was much more pleasing to the eye than when he was trying to seduce him.

Qin Fei hummed in response.

Song Yu felt relieved and turned to leave, but was stopped.

Turning back—

Qin Fei took off his outer windbreaker and handed it to him: "Put this on."

The man waited a while, but received no reply .

Looking down, he saw Song Yu staring at his upper body.

Qin Fei's eyelids twitched violently.

So, he deliberately splashed water on his clothes just to make him take them off?

Did he like men's bodies that much?

So shameless.

Thinking this, Qin Fei straightened his back even more, his Adam's apple bobbing uncontrollably.

[Mission Two Completed, Congratulations Host for gaining 2000 points.]

[Mission Three Awaiting Refresh.]

Hearing that the mission was complete, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to take off his clothes and return them to the other party when someone shouted from the stairwell, "Captain Qin—"

"Brother Shen is back!"

* Song

Yu followed behind Qin Fei and arrived downstairs to find Shen Songchen surrounded by a group of people.

"Brother Shen, are you hurt?"

"Holy crap! Amazing! You dodged so many monsters?"

Hearing the commotion, Shen Songchen turned around and glanced at the two people who had rushed over.

His gaze passed over the front and landed directly on the handsome young man.

"Xiao Yu,"

Shen Songchen called out. He was gentle and handsome, with fair skin and non-aggressive features. The faint smile on his lips and relaxed eyes were like a spring breeze.

However, Song Yu knew that this was all an act.

The current Shen Songchen was reborn and was about to take revenge on him.

Song Yu pretended not to know and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Shen."

Shen Songchen was older than him, and he always called him that, but actually he just didn't like it and was too lazy to call him by his name.

As soon as Song Yu reached Shen Songchen's side, he was tightly embraced by the other.

"Little Yu, I thought I'd almost never see you again."

Shen Songchen lowered his head, smelling a scent on Song Yu that wasn't his own.

The black jacket the boy was wearing… he recognized it; it belonged to Qin Fei.

So quickly they'd hooked up.

Shen Songchen's smile softened.

He had endured hellish pain to return to this place,

all for the sake of seeing this person again.

Shen Songchen held Song Yu's slender body,

letting him think about

how to get revenge.
